"The livestream will be available Wednesday, November 12, at 9:00 a.m. ET for the special Nintendo Direct. "Please note that no game information will be included in this presentation," the company cautioned. Still, that gives us the rest of the day to wrap our minds around whichever new stars have been cast to bring the latest trip back to the Mushroom Kingdom to life."
"But Yoshi is not like most Mario Bros. characters. He's not humanoid and doesn't talk in the games. He just shouts "Yoshi!" in an adorable butter cream voice that just melts your heart. That seems like the most obvious approach for the Mario Galaxy Movie, which will seemingly have something to do with the titular plumber and pals exploring new worlds in the stars."
"The alternative is that Yoshi talks and sounds human. Despite the horror, that seems like a non-zero possibility. I'm imagining something like Idris Elba's version of Knuckles in the Sonic movies: a completely earnest delivery in a vaguely cockney accent that is at once both completely bizarre and yet somehow fitting. I would love for Nintendo and Illumination to really go for something wild here."
Nintendo will host a Super Mario Galaxy Movie Direct on Wednesday, November 12 at 9:00 a.m. ET to show the first full trailer for the sequel. The company warned that no game information will be included in the presentation. The trailer will likely reveal Illumination and Nintendo's approach to Yoshi's voice after the green dinosaur was teased with an egg breaking open in the sewers at the end of the first Mario Bros. Movie and confirmed in promotional imagery. Yoshi does not talk in the games and typically emits an adorable 'Yoshi!' cry, but the film could give Yoshi a human voice, evoking examples like Idris Elba's Knuckles and speculative casting such as Nicolas Cage.
